Treasure Adventure Game

The concept of indie games is good for players but generally you get what you pay for. TAG is a good example of this. It appears polished and easy to approach but it doesn't take for it to unravel. The humor is somewhat amusing at first, but when combined with the juvenile dialog as you progress through it, it rapidly becomes annoying. The player's death animation also seems clever at first, but after several viewings, it becomes tiresome. The story is confusing and were it not for online walkthroughs, it's hard to see how most players would be able to determine what to do and how some of the mechanics work. Worst of all, about half an hour into TAG, the difficulty steeply climbs into nearly impossible. Although the controls are good (for keyboard and mouse) this game is no Super Mario despite the obvious imitation of that game's art and audio. If you're seriously into platformers or just want to play a free title in between real games, give TAG a shot. But I expect most of you will uninstall it well before finishing it.

Solid game, good 30 hours spent to 100% it. Very occasionally chugged on my mediocre computer. Pretty darn charming at time and best of all, completely free.

This is a super fun game. I always liked minimalist graphics and adventure games, but this is on an entirely different level. The music is awesome, going perfectly with the mood of the game. The story is interesting, enough to keep me wondering, but the best part is how it plays. It is hard, but not to the extent of giving up. It's an adventure game at heart, though, and combat is not a huge part. The puzzles are the main part, along with problem solving, but it also uses combat as a way to problem solve. It keeps me coming back for more every time i play it.

I love indie games. This needs work. The controls are messed up out the gate, and the player initially moves so slow it takes forever getting out of the boat. Lightning blinds the entire screen. I like the 'old game boy game' look and feel but this needs a lot of basic work. Also , the dialog can be easily edited. Make it read only IMO.

It's clear that these guys haven't been making a lot of games. Physics is awkward and the game is grindy. Puzzle pieces are located in the hardest areas to get to and that seems to be done on purpose as a challenge. Well, it's not. It's just an annoyance. The game fails to make itself stand out from the rest of pool of hipster Indy crap, AKA 8bit grade graphics and sound with filters. That may or may not be a good thing for many, but I hope they realize the moment they decided to go that route, they are competing with thousands of classics with similar visuals but superior contents with fraction of size compared to this game, especially an issue when putting up games on GOG. Not a terrible waste of an hour, but I rather look through romhack dot net and find a classic that was never previously imported instead of playing this game. Good luck on your future games.
